HANDWORK CLASS LIST

PUMPKIN PENNYRUG


This class is all about learning the basic stitch and working with wool. We will make the pumpkin panel and it is your choice as to how you finish it. I made this one into a pillow. Other options include making it into a tablerunner, tablemat, purse or small wallhanging. There are samples of other projects to inspire you in the shop.


I will have kits available or if you have wool, I will have a supply list when you pay. Payment assures you a seat in class.


Date: SEPT. 10, 08........... Time: 5-9


Class: $20.00 includes pattern.............. Kit cost: $10.00




CHRISTMAS TREE STITCHERY



If you have ever done any cross-stitching, this class will be a cinch. We will start with learning the basic stitches and getting your design on the cloth. We will make the tree panel and then you can decide how you would like to finish your project. I framed mine in a distressed black frame. Other options include mini wallhanging or pillow. I have other samples in the shop for inspiration.


I will have kits made up if you need one, or you will get a supply list when you pay. Payment assures you a seat in class.


Date: NOV. 5. 08.................. Time: 5-9


Class: $20.00........................ Kit cost: $6.00





LOCKERHOOKED CANDLE MAT


Lockerhooking is fun and fast. Once you know the shortcuts, it goes fast. And be cause you start with the finishing, there is no finishing! Does that make sense? Anyways, we will make a small mat using strips of fabric in one color family. This one is done in shades of red, they look too pink in the pic.

I will have kits for the basic supplies, which you will probably need, and I can put together a fabric kit if you need one. A supply list will be available with your payment. Payment assures you a seat in class.



Date: OCT. 15, 08.................. Time: 5-9



Class: $20.00.............................Basic kit cost: $10.00..... Fabric kit cost: $12.00

ANNUAL WATER BATTLE

Every summer our small town of Benton in NE Pennsylvania has a carnival and parade. There are firetrucks from surrounding communities lining the street as far as the eye can see. I didn't count but there must have been about 20 companies in the parade this year. With sirens blasting, the mayor goes by in a sports car throwing out candy for the kids along the sidewalks. Everyone comes out to bombard the firemen with water balloons and the firemen reciprocate with their water hoses from the trucks. It almost seems like an unfair fight, but you can't even believe the amount of water balloons hitting the firemen. The kids really have a lot of fun. This year the water battle was on Aug. 2nd.














Fire trucks lined up far down the street.












Some boys getting ready for battle













This guy probably spent days stockpiling his balloons, each of these bags are filled with water balloons












College hunks looking for unsuspecting targets















Broadcasting by the local radio station












The balloons are flying! ! !












The local police is the first target and nobody passed up this opportunity to bean the cop car










Watch out for the fire hoses! ! !
